loop says():Central Bank Governor "long": equality dinar dollar threatens local production and the deletion of zeros depends on stability

Author: ZJ Editor: 22/06/2016 01:06 Long-Presse / Baghdad
Maybe it raises talk in economic and financial affairs many Hjona the followers, he is the modern-related livelihood daily per capita and how to get the economy moving, which faces many pitfalls impede progress, including currency and dinar speculation

Exchange at the price of the dollar and the auction currency that turned him raised a lot of doubts and questions, in addition to work civil and foreign banks and remittance, and how to get out of the financial crisis that has plagued Iraq,

and even the recent international Monetary Fund loan with falling oil prices and its consequences, as the sole supplier, which had a negative impact on the amount of central bank reserves of foreign currency, According to specialists may not the reserve covers three months import of Iraq.

All these and other files open the "long" in a private meeting with the governor of the Central Bank of Ali Ismail Keywords.

Conflicts in the reserve figures of foreign currency

* What are the plans for the central bank if the bank reserves continued to decline to the low limits do not even three months import cover of Iraq, and how much the amount of the reserve now, due to the large ado about it?

- Of foreign precautions now $ 53 billion, a figure that changed daily according to what takes us back from the Ministry of Finance, and this level within our accounts and the accounts of the International Monetary Fund last refers to the adequacy of the reserve in accordance with the international standard of the existence of foreign currency reserves cover the size of the local currency. We also reserve the highest level, which means that foreign currency available to us than the local currency.

The high or low reserves caused by factors beyond the control or the control of the central bank, as the reserve is influenced by two factors basic elements, namely the amount of dollar given to the Central Bank, which is the source of the sale of oil and Mathsal by the Ministry of Finance of the petrodollars they sell to the central bank to get against which the dinars to cover Nfqatha.ama

second factor is the demand for the dollar, and its source is the basis of the state that ultimately turn out to demand for the dollar, as the majority of materials and goods imported expenses. And those beyond the bank's control factors are determined by the level of reserve.

The pressure and influence is increasing on the reserve when the issue of the state budget deficit being covered by vouchers or bonds the central bank bought, which means that the bank will issue cash for the government without that there is a cover of foreign currency for the government,

and this is the version you spend the last turn the demand for imports in dollars which means reduce the reserve, so the House of Representatives and the government are responsible for the decline in reserve when the budget deficit have published. It is unfortunate that this fact is not understood by many.

It is curious that professes some members of the House of Representatives or the government that the central bank is responsible for the decline in reserves without paying attention to the reason that caused them, and not by the Central Bank or his policies.

loop says():The reasons for borrowing from abroad and future implications

* If it was good enough reserves and in accordance with the international standard, why borrow from abroad if.?

- Borrowing from the IMF is very important for Iraq and open the way for us to obtain facilities, loans and support of international organizations and major states, also strengthens the Iraq Center externally in terms of financial transactions.

* Can the Rafidain and Rasheed Zbonin that presidents be at the central bank auction of foreign currency? Why refrain of many years of active participation and leave the monopolists of the private sector to be the primary actor in the auction?

- The central bank opens the process of selling the dollar to public and private banks alike, lack of bank entry Rafidain and Rasheed on a larger scale in the process, due to Khchithma the exposure of foreign transfers to confiscate transfers due to external claims old debts,

but now having taken measures to solve We hope that this problem Atkmen two banks from exercising their operations without reservation or fear, and from our side and Nhvzhma encourage them to expand their dealings in dollars to achieve the principle of competition Tnfna much.

* Why not been modified in force Banking Act to the authority of the coalition No. 94 of 2004, as the central bank can generate the forced merger of banks, rather than persuasion literary merger, especially since the banking market needs a strong decisions to integrate more than one banking institution to avoid landslides and protect the banking financial system in Iraq?

- We had a job and wide to amend the Banking Act referred to, and is now in the final stages of the legislation, and that the new law, and certainly taking into consideration the best international practices and experiences large and developments in the banking and financial sector.

* Is the central bank was able to rescue the financial situation of Iraq (public finances) during the years of oil revenues has worsened since 2014? What are effective policy adopted by the central bank as a savior of public finance that?

- Yes, the Central Bank has played a major role in the face of the financial crisis that hit the financial country's situation, during the last period and the present, and it was the lifeboat of the overall situation and not just the financial situation, because the financial resources of the government were not sufficient to cover even salaries, we have to imagine the situation if it failed State to pay the salaries of millions of employees,

so the total amount financed by the Central Bank of the public treasury would arrive at the end of this year to more than 20 trillion dinars through his purchase of treasury transfers from the secondary market, as the central bank provides support and counseling to aspects other, in order to cope with the financial and economic challenges.

* How faced monetary policy of the Central Bank of the problem of unemployment and stagnation among Iraqis, especially since the bank's target, according to law is to stabilize prices and fight unemployment ,?

- Central Bank contributes to reduce unemployment by stimulating economic activity by keeping the general level of prices and the reduction of the rate of inflation by stimulating and facilitating lending, credit and structural benefits operations, so the central bank initiative to allocate 6 trillion dinars for lending to private sector projects, pour into the mainstream to achieve this goal, which is active sectors and achieve operating.

* If you do you consider the "six trillion" program that Sakarzha Bank to the public one of these processors. Are there other steps to achieve the stability that encourages economic growth in the gross domestic income, or?

- Yes to the 6 trillion initiative, the first of its kind and size are in the history of Iraq, where we found As sensors of the economic situation that the only way for the advancement of economic reality is to stimulate industrial and agricultural sectors productivity through lending and support the private sector,

because we have noticed not turned slogans and national strategies to support private sector and diversify the productive base to a supportive and stimulating practical plans, as the central bank notes through its coverage of the demand for the dollar for the purposes of import, dumping policy by importing the simplest materials and goods that could be produced within the country to run the citizen and maintain foreign at the same currency.

* But how do you achieve the goal of this initiative in light of the current situation, where there is no protection Ositrh or even activate laws.?

- Note this accurate and essential, and we have stated when The launch initiative that its success depends on the product to activate the protection and consumer protection and to prevent dumping policy and the application of customs duties and quality control laws, it is without all this you can not expect effective results for this initiative.

* With the current state of border ports, you can actually apply it.?

but also economic, health, environmental and security risks of loss we must pay attention to her, and there were attempts for many years to correct the conditions of those ports, but they all failed, and we confirmed that we are in years and continue to emphasize the need for the use of specialized international companies to take over the organization and management of these ports.

​* Are there political actors dominate invisibly on the banks requests for foreign currency, including the parliamentary forces very window? .. This modern trader, and as they say, those are the cause of the destruction of Iraq and the smuggling of funds through the auction?- Confirm the position of responsibility absence of interference from anyone or from any point in the issue of determining the total dollar sales, or at banks and companies level, Defining it is by the high-level committee of the Central Bank, including the deputy governor and directors of two advanced and staff meet daily to determine that based on several Moduaah.onhn factors now finished setting consistent standards which is determined by a certain degree for each bank or transform the company,including the commitment of the bank or the company's anti-money laundering and terrorism financing and the rules and regulations associated with that law, until we get in the end to the application of an electronic program is implemented sales automatically operations in the light of the degree of banking and corporate commitment to those standards, rules and instructions.* Can the closure of branches of foreign banks in violation of the law of the central bank and banking law.? Is it already been done? Especially since there are, as they say, many irregularities among those banks, and how many branches of those banks and a number of private banks.?- Yes, the central bank instructions apply to all banks licensed by the Bank, and branches of foreign banks licensed by us as well, so they are subject to subject his local banks in terms of penalties and procedures regarding irregularities and including the withdrawal of the offending branch license.* Was really pulling vacation one of these branches.?- Both did not happen during the period in which I took out of the Central Bank.* But we hear that there are irregularities and excesses of many of those banks.?- This information is not accurate because the branches of the banks that we are the branches of a very large, mostly banks, and has an international classification Advanced, and that these branches subject to Rkabtna and regulated by the Central Bank in the State of Almaqralriasa of the bank and control headquarters and the president himself as belonging to him.loop says to subgirl():No CBI Gov Alaksubgirl says to loop():Alak I knew that lol thanks!​loop says to subgirl():Primitive and fails in the performance of government banks
